Spicy Solanas

At the invitation of Studio 303, projets hybris presents its first short form as part of Cabaret Tollé 2015. A solo piece for performer Danièle Simon, Spicy Solanas is a whimsical response to current patriarchal austerity policies. Looking for answers to drastic cuts impacting mostly women, she enthusiastically dives back into Valerie Solanas’ SCUM Manifesto (1967) and girl power à la Spice Girls.

While an hopeful wind blows on the federal level, anger and disappointment still prevail in the provincial sector and the international situation is getting more alarming every day. We invite you to an austerity cocktail with micro-performances by Yan Lee Chan and Jacqueline van de Geer + Jesse Orr. On stage, artists 2boys.tv, 2Fik + Alexis O’Hara, Glam Gam Productions, Mobile Home, Hua Li and projets hybris sink their teeth in these news topics.

Cabaret Tollé is Studio 303’s annual fundraiser. Since 1989, Studio 303 supports live art, prioritizing the development of emerging practices in contemporary dance and interdisciplinary performance.
